Playing career

Jozef Stümpel was selected in the 2nd round, 40th overall, by the Boston Bruins in the 1991 NHL Entry draft, and immediately joined the Bruins organization. Prior to the 2004–05 NHL lockout season, Stümpel had played for only two clubs, the Bruins and the Los Angeles Kings. For the 2005–06 NHL season, Stümpel joined the Florida Panthers.

He was placed on unconditional waivers on June 27, 2008 and Florida decided to buy out his contract.

On May 4, 2011, Stümpel moved from KHL's Dynamo Minsk to Spartak Moscow.http://www.sports.ru/en/hockey/95112946.html

A long-time friend of Žigmund Pálffy since the beginning of their professional careers, they were often line-mates on the Slovak national team.
